HARNESS-HANGER.

Application filed January 16, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. TAYLOR, citizen of the United States,residing at Memphis, in the county of Hall and State of Texas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness-Hangers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention resides in a new and useful invention in harness hangers,which will hold one or more sets of harness in a convenient manner, andis so arranged that the collar and pad may be kept separate from theharness, and so it will not get tangled, and is at all times in easy andconvenient reach.

A further object of the invention is to provide straps swung in loopswhich are secured to a plate, which plate is adapted to be fastened to awall; which plate is pro vided with holes for screws or nails, and alsowith a projecting hook at the top of said plate, for holding any articlethat may be hung thereon. The larger strap is sooured to the bottom ofsaid plate, and is provided with a ring at the other end of same, whichis adapted to be secured to a second hook, which is secured to thecenter of said plate. The second strap is riveted to the first or largerstrap, and is also provided at the other end with a ring, which also issecured to the hook in the center of said plate.

Finally, the object of the invention is the provision of a triangularplate, provided with holes for the reception of screws or nails, bymeans of which it is secured to the wall. This plate is also providedwith a projecting hook at its top or apeX, adapted to receive anyarticle which may be hung thereon. The plate is further provided with asecond book adapted to receive the rings secured in the ends of thestraps, one of which straps is fastened to the bottom of said plate, andthe other strap being riveted 1 to the first strap, by means of whichharness and other articles may be conveniently suspended, and may bekept clean and free from dirt, and also will not get tangled, and willalways be convenient to the reach of any one desiring to use same.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention has particularrelation to certain novel features, an example of which is described inthe following specification,

and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevation, showing the harness rack in position foruse, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the rack, showing the strapslooped up in position to receive articles desired to be suspendedthereon.

Referring now more particularly, 1 in Fig. 1 designates a triangularplate provided with apertures 2 to receive the holding screws or nails,by which the device may be at tached to the wall. The plate 1 is alsopro vided with a projecting hook 3 adapted to receive any part of theharness that may be desired to be suspended thereon. The plate 3 isfurther provided with a projecting hook 4 adapted to receive the ring 5,which is secured to the end of strap 6, and the ring 7 secured to theend of strap 8, and the strap 8 fixed at one end to the strap 6 in sucha way as to form a loop. The strap 6 is attached at one end to the baseof plate 1, and provided with rings 5 at the other end of same, and islooped up and secured to hook 4. The rings 5 and 7 are riveted to theends of the straps 6 and 8. By this simple means the different parts ofharness may be hung up on the respective hook and looped straps in aconvenient manner, and maintained 1n such a position that it can bereadily taken down and expeditiously handled when it is to be placed onthe horse. Thus no confusion or entanglement of the different parts ofthe harness will occur. While the device, as before stated, is moreparticularly designed for supporting harness, it may be employed forother purposes, and I do not, therefore, wish to be limited in the useof the device for any specific purpose, but reserve the right to its usefor any purpose for which it is adapted.

What I claim, is:

1. In a device of the character described, the combination with a plate,of means for securing the plate to a wall, a hook carried by the plate,a strap attached to the base of said plate, a second strap which isfastened to the first strap, both of said straps provided with rings atthe ends thereof to engage with the hook situated on said plate.

2. In a device of the character described, the combination with atriangular plate, of a hook carried by the plate, a strap secured to thesaid plate, a second strap secured to the first strap, a hook carried bythe said plate,

and rings secured to the end of said straps' adapted to engage with saidhook carried by the plate.

3. In a device of the character descri-bed, the combination of a plate,of a, projectingfirst strap and swung in a loop, rings at- 1 tached tothe ends of both of said straps, and

a second hook carried on said plate, adapted to receive the said rings.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
